Ouch Update - 12/27/08

I'm keeping this little journal primarily for my own purposes, to have some record of my
symptoms & recovery.

Some of the swelling has gone down now and some areas of localized pain have
come into better focus.

The day after my accident I had a strong metallic taste in my mouth. My teeth had
been 'rattled' and felt loose. Now tonight I have at least one lower molar that is
suddenly sensitive to heat and cold.

I still have all the tingling in the limbs and from time to time part of my face (right
side) feels tingly and my right eye does not feel right. On Wednesday I had ringing
in my right ear too.

My right side is definately worse than my left, but I do have some tingling there too,
particularly when I raise my left hand to hold a phone to my ear.

My shoulders are painful, including between my shoulder blades. When I bend my
head back so as to look up towards the ceiling it hurts down to between my
shoulder blades.

I still have pain mid-back and in my lower back and my upper arms.

I'm a little less foggy and feel a little better today overall. I was able to get the dishes
done a little better, but I noticed I had trouble lifting a pan of water with my right arm
alone.

I still have some trouble breathing at times, particularly laying on my back in bed
and if I bed forward.

I have moments of short stabbing pains around my mid-section both above and
below my waist.

I've been fatigued easily and sleeping 10 - 12 hours and foggy and slow when
awake, although today I had less of that.
